I got a double tongue piercing a year ago and it did not heal correctly so I had to take them out a month later. My tongue still hurts, and there are two white scarred over holes on the top of my tongue. That's pretty normal, but if I press them just slightly I feel the thick scar tissue inside which hurts a lot. I don't know why that is. Is it possible to remove them by a punch excision? I'd like to get it removed for medical and cosmetic purposes.
I noticed a odd bump on my tounge - my dentist says we should biopsy it- I am a keloider (have major ones on my chest and back and had radiation for those to stop them growing) and I also wear a bite splint at night and maybe thought this was a keloid? Is laser excision best for potential keloid or is oral surgeon with stitches? I have also reacted to dissolvable stitches when I once tried to have my chest keloids removed.
I have a keloid on my tongue created by pressure from my thumb guard when i had braces. I've had this scar for 12 years is there anyway to remove the keloid? It may be hard to tell from the picture but the keloid is raised quite a bit and is noticeable to other people.
About two years ago I got my tongue pierced with no problems, a year ago I tore the piercing due to playing with it. I started to form a small keloid that slowly grew bigger. It stopped growing about four months ago but I'm afraid it might be getting bigger again. I now have a pea sized keloid around my piercing, what do I do?
